Bernhard will - once more - give Oz an trademarked hand gesture of politely waving her off, the experience being very fresh still. "Oh, do not mind. In fact I'm... just coming from the place the young dear girl infected with the curse lives at, having made sure she and her parents are alright for now. I did manage to break the vile curse, as taxing and costy it has been on my end..." Then he averts his gaze back at dear Oz, sporting what appears to be...an encouraging smile(?) which has left their face within the blink of an eye. "There IS something you and your Hattrene are able to give me a hand in however - checking dear Saph for any lingering aftereffect of having infested by the curse for so long. Healing Arts are not my speciality, so I would appreciate if you, as healer, could accompany if I happen to visit her once more at some point... It is up to you to accept or decline." He gives Oz an ecouraging look however. "Especially so if you... managed to SAVE THE LIFE of that Liligant yesterday..." He lets these words linger for a bit, seems it was important for Bernhard to state it like this.
Any further input and words from the young lady of a healer is met with a usual stoic face and facade. For a while, Bernhard would just sit there with her, let everything she said sink in, observe the surroundings and Myra with an attentive eye, keep a close look on Oz... From what he can pick up, this young lady is full of despair and anxiety, yeez.
Once he eventually DOES speak up however, his words are suprisingly soft. They're still lacking much emotion, but they don't come off as cold at least. "Well... I would say you are acting quite bravely, displaying quite the courage here, m'lady." Once more he's putting emphasis on this part. What Bernhard will also do is cast an Aromatherapy via Evocation over Oz, in an attempt to help her calm down, seeing how she's beginnng to break down here.
*coughs* "Do allow me to elaborate: You are stating that your are fearing me? Oh, there is nothing to 'fear' about me - *tone turns dark* " - that is, unless you are making me WANT to fear me, or are making ENEMIES out of me for some reason. Either way, despite your fears and reservations, you still managed to invite me, you are still sitting here with quite the capable Scimitar at the same table, at your own desire. In just this moment, you are already facing your fears, and that is something I can value and respect. The path to, if you wish to do so, tackle your fears is laid open, the first small step you did already take. You may not...have realized that you have done so, that is all. It is your decision whether to follow that path and grow while taking it, or make a turn and leave your inner demons reign, like they seem to have done so for quite a while."
In response to her stating that she feels horrible for these demons commanding her to run: She receives one more a hand gesture of 'Not a big deal'™. "Do not apologize for what you feel or don't feel, Oz. No one should do that. There are only things you 'feel', no things you are 'allowed to feel' or 'not allowed to feel'."
Bewrnhard's not going to state or express it, but in some way they CAN relate to 'having lost something truely important'. His thoughts wander towards his partner, Sirroc the Minun... Maybe due to that he feels somewhat capable to deal with Oz in her current state just fine. "When you loose one thing, you are able to receive something too in return - that is my belief. Give it a thought, ponder over it in times of rest, there MUST be something you have gotten in return to loosing something so dear to you. You simply may not...see it as of currently."
How Oz is terriefied of Bern simpyl because they are a Scimitar however earns Oz a frown, once more they return to putting their fingertips together to a roof. "I am not going to sugarcoat it, it is valid and understandable to fear us. This mere Gauntlet of mine..." *musters it* "....it surely can be used to do evil, if utilized in the right way. But in the end, it is just a tool... What to make of that tool is free of choice. Simply because one of my fellow Magi have chosen to follow a more dark path, does not mean that all of us are bad, no. We just happen...to enjoy our privacy. Your first impression and lingering belief of us being bad is just that, it stems from the trauma you have suffered. If I were bad however, would I make use of this tool to try calming your nerves via a spell? Surely not, now would I?"
